Hello All!
Quick question - what do you think - how much do the raft weight?
Most wood species have a green weight (high water content) in the range of 50 lbs per square foot.
Assuming the raft is one foot thick and ten feet by ten feet square, that would equate to 5,000 lbs.

I assume you mean per cubic foot, but, yeah, those numbers check out. Of course, a ten foot by ten foot raft is quite large.
Two hundred pounds is closer to the weight of an inflatable rubber raft, actually.
